(Austin, Texas) An Austin teen convicted in the beating of a gay Austin man was given a 13-year sentence on Friday.
The 17 year old, whose name is protected because of his age, must serve the first three years in a juvenile detention facility and will then be transferred to an adult prison. He was 16 at the time of the attack.
He was one of four men charged in the attack on the victim, whose name is also being withheld out of concerns for his safety.
The 32 year old victim left Oilcan Harry’s, an Austin gay bar, with one of the men on July 17, on the way out the man asked if he could bring his friends.
The group returned to the victim's home in East Austin where the attack occurred. Police say the four men drugged, tied-up, beat, cut, then sexually assaulted the victim. When it was over they threatened to kill him if he spoke a word about the violence.
The attack sent shockwaves through Austin's close knit gay community, particularly since the attackers went to a gay bar to find a victim.
In closing arguments at the teen's trial last month, prosecutors said the four men sadistically beat, tortured and sexually assaulted their victim.
The youth was the first of the four to go on trial. Shawn Regan, 21, Donald Bockman, 24, and Darren Gay, 21, all face charges of aggravated sexual assault and aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon.
